What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only

Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tested whether a digital app called KardioPAC could help people in cardiac rehab stay more active and feel better. 43 heart patients used the app alongside standard rehab, or just standard rehab alone. The goal was to see if the app improved exercise habits, blood pressure, and quality of life.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
KardioPAC mobile application (a digital tool for remote monitoring and reminders)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple digital tool that helps heart patients stick with exercise and feel better during rehab.
What could go wrong
This was a very small, early study (43 people) with no blinding, so results may not apply widely. The app's benefits over standard care are uncertain.
